as long as desired, selecting a sunny and
well drained spot; sprinkle Il little stable
litter in the bottom, and on this shovel
enough horse stable manure to make
twelve or fifteen inches in thickness after
it is well trained down. around the bed
construct a frame or crib of boards, a foot
high in front end eighteen inches at the
back, with ends beveled to fit the sides,

sash that can be conveniently raised or
lifted off when required. Some manure
should also be put around the frame on
the outside and covered with earth to keep

bedding is the right kind to use, and it
should be hauled out and piled up few
days near the trench, and be forked over
several times and kept moist, but not
drenching wet, until the heap is well
heated up, when it should be shovcled in
the pit as directed, and covered with five
or six inches of rich soil as bed for the
seed. If the heat is excessive at any time
remove the whole or portion of the sash,
and on warm days this should always be
done. Where old sashes are on hand
the bed may be made of a size to suit
them and save the expense of new. In

Sugar Making in This Country.

The experiments conducted under the
auspices of the National Department of
Agriculture, at Fort Scott, Kan, in max
ing sugar from sorghum cane have been
announced a complete success Icy Com
missioner Colman. The new process is
rapid, less costly and more efficient than
the old process. BY the latter it is'esti-
mated that about one-half of the saccharine
matter was wasted, even in the southern
sugar cane. The diffusion process, it is
claimed, saves about 90 per cent of the
saccharine matter. Experiments are
being conducted in Louisiana with making
sugar from the ribbon cane by the new
process. Commissioner COlman believes
that these experiments and their results
are as islPOrtant to this country as the in
ventiOn Cf the cotton gin.
The only entirely successful experiment
in beet sugar production in this country
has been at the Alvarado factory in Cali
fornia. 1t appears from recent report
that there are possibilities of supplement-
ing the crop of the san Joaquin valley so
as to lengthen the factory season in Cali
fornia TO five months instead of three, the
length of the season in Europe.

use of which fairly satisfactory results
have been obtained In careful hands the
better class of incubators give good re-
suits, but intelligent attention is an abso-
lutte necessity not only in the management
of the iucubators but in the care of the
chicks after they are Matched. The supply
of heat in incubators must be regular, and
amateurs, as n rule, fail in keeping an
even temperature. Beale, the well known
English authority, says: 'No part of an
ordinary dwelling is as good as the cellar
to set the incubator in. Here the temper
allure varies but little between day and
night, and one day when the Thermometer
may stand at 50 dogs. and the next to
zero-a change which not unfrequently
occurs several times each winter in the
northern states-and all parts of the house
feel more or less"
Numbered with the better class of self
regulating incubators is a machine con-
sisting of II small water heater which
warns the water in a tank placed over
the egg chamber. The source of heat
may he either kerosene oil or gas.
The eggs, placed in trays, are warmed by
radiation on the upper surface only. I'm
der the trays are shallow pans of water,
six to ten degrees cooler than the eggs,
which are observed when hens make their
nests Oh the ground. The air in the egg
chamber is also moistened by water from
troughs suspended above the eggs. Ven
tilation is provided through tubes which
introduce a constant flow of fresh air
close under the tank, thus warming it
before it comes i'll contact with the
eggs. The impure air is taken out
from the bottom. All the eggs are
turned at one time by means of
an ingenious contrivance of the egg tray.
A set of thermostatic bars above the
eggs raise and lower the flame of the lamp
or gas burner, and thus adapt the heat
given out with changes Of temperature in
the room, and hold the heat of the ma
chine close to the desired point by a con-
slant action. There is "A chamber under
the egg trap which is used as a nursery
for the chickens.
Another well known machine made
similar to the above, that is, the water
tank is above the eggs, etc, etc, possesses
the popularity of doubling its capacity
after the first ten days, with a double
layer of eggs. Experienced hatchers diff
fer in their opinions as to the merits of
this feature.
A comparatively new incubator has
ployed except to supply moisture The
desired warmth to the eggs is impaired by
air warmed by coming in contact with
two metallic lamp tlucs Then there is an
incubator which is peculiar in having no
automatic regulating apparatus. This
machine consists of two tanks, placed one
above and one beneath the egg drawer,
and connected by tubes in such Il way as
to cause Il very free circulation of the
water. The source of heat is a kerosene
lamp Hnder the center of the lower tank
The flame of this is regulated according to
the judgment Of the attendant.
In careful hands machines such as have
been described give fair results. The hen,
however, remains the only certain incu-
bator for inexperienced, busy or careless
folks, who will not give patient, persistent
attention to the artificial ones.

what makes it wonderful. Is it from some

summer weather? Is it from some kind ac-
quaintance to visit her in the beautiful coun-

After the meeting, a little shriveled, miser-
able looking woman came to the lady who
had been talking, and laying her hand on the
lady's arm she said earnestly, looking steadily
into her face, "Was that invitation you gave

lady, ''for you and for every one who heard
